Short post

It's a week to due date. Not that it matters now the induction is booked, but it felt odd NOT posting something this week given I have every Saturday for... well a long time :oD

It's also my mother-in-laws birthday today: HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATE! Sorry I've not been able to present you with a new grandchild for your birthday, we'll have to consider him/her a belated gift when they finally show up.

Although, this is a good point for me to record some last details. Like my weight. I am 15 stone 11lb this morning, so that's 221 lb. A total pregnancy gain of exactly 20lb, which for some one of my size pre-preg is pretty good! Especially since I have been tarred with this GD brush (I've got an apt thought the post today for the 16th June to test me and see where I am post preg). I'm recording that on my Weight Watchers page and I guess it wont change now until I've had Baby.... And then the fun starts! Ha! Time to get trim, stay happy & balanced, and make healthy milk for my baby.

I've asked Mark to take one last Bump photo on Wed morning before we set off for the hospital which I'll try to post before I go. I'm tempted to get the tape measure round my belly too, just to see how big I've actually managed to get! I feel MASSIVE!

Gah! I'm going to TRY not to post random pointless posts for the next 4 days. I've said pretty much everything there is to say about this preg now. It's just that now it's pretty much the only thing on my mind! Even when I think about Mark and Jack etc it's almost always in context of the pregnancy, the birth, the baby.... I suppose it's only natural. I am about to undergo a huge life change, not to mention one of the most dangerous things a body can do. But I hate it when people only have one theme of conversation.... and that's exactly what's happened to me these last few weeks and months.

I am hereby BANNING myself from posting between now and ... lets say Tuesday (because by then I'll be flipping out and will NEED to vent!) Unless baby turns up early or something ;op

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
